Josh Rouse

Josh Rouse is an American folk/roots pop singer-songwriter. Although born in Nebraska, Rouse moved to various cities throughout his childhood and subsequent musical career, driven at first by his father’s military career and later by his desire to take inspiration from different environments. He paid tribute to his birthplace on his 1998 debut, Dressed Up Like Nebraska, and explored the influence of his adopted home state, Tennessee, with 2005’s Nashville. Rouse later settled in Spain and explored the country’s musical traditions, although his songwriting continued to exhibit the summery, rootsy appeal of his earlier work.
